Mind Mapping for Public Speaking: Plan, Rehearse, & Deliver

Description

This short course shows you how to plan a talk, lecture, podcast or webinar in record time (what we call SMART SPEAKING). It also shows how to deliver any presentation without reading from a word-for-word script or without reading from slides or flashcards. Also during summer/autumn 2012 the course is being expanded by including I new section sharing my experience of using Mind Mapping to prepare and deliver a TED Talk

THE COURSE doesn't teach you how to do mind mapping (I've another course that does that). However the course walks you through how mind maps and the mind mapping process can be used to easily and quickly prepare, rehearse and deliver talks and speeches. For those that don't know mind mapping yet, this course is a great introduction to show you one of its greatest benefits.

In the course you'll be following a case study where you are taken, step by step, through an easy-to-use and effective process to plan, rehearse and deliver a lecture. Plus there are two short projects that give you an opportunity to put your own learning into practice.

For Mind Mappers: Do you just use mind mapping for occasional brainstorming exercises rather than to USE it everyday with practical business applications like planning and rehearsing presentations?

For Non-Mind Mappers: Have you avoided learning this technique because you can't readily see any useful practical applications? Well here is one very practical application

Speaking Skills: Can you present confidently to an audience without notes? Are you already a confident Public Speaker or do you require help?

Speaking Skills: Do you need to present effectively in front of a camera with a conversational style? Would you like to quickly construct audio recordings like podcasts for example? This course will help you become a better public speaker both to a live audience and in front of camera.

Speaking Skills: Do you need to reduce the time it takes to prepare and learn a new speech or present a new workshop?

Speaking Skills: The course shows you how to massively reduce your preparation time, overcome writers block, and if necessary memorise your talk, all using one simple technique on a single sheet of paper.
